Get ready with me!

I was supposed to meet a bunch of old school friends. I am aware that I look the prettiest of them all. How do I know you ask? I told it to myself. But I had to look my best, I hadn't met these friends in two years. I had another reason to dress my best- we were going to a fancy restaurant.

Now that I have your attention, let's get to the real title of the article- 'Everything went wrong- Getting Ready to go for a Girl's night out edition'.

Picking an Outfit!

I knew I had to wear my polka dotted-coffee brown cropped top with puffy sleeves. I have been eying that top for some time now. Since it was a cropped top, I needed to pair it with high-rise black jeans. My black jeans were mid-rise and the one which was a high rise, was not jet black, it was charcoal black. Can you believe it? I don't have high-rise black jeans, even I don't believe my ears.

I was originally supposed to wear beige-colored stilettoes, but since it started pouring heavily, I switched to black boots, which were also heeled.

Accessorizing!

Since I was wearing a coffee-colored outfit, I needed brown earrings. I knew I had kept it somewhere. Why does it even matter if my hair is anyway going to hide my earrings? I don't know, but I needed them! So I spent an hour looking for it and found it in the first place I was searching. Sometimes, things are right in front of your eyes, but you can't see them.

I love a coined-sized finger ring, that I always wear.

I love mini purses! The prettiest things ever invented. They have absolutely no use. You can't fit your keys or phone in it.

But, since it started raining, I needed an actual functional purse that could hold an umbrella.

While I was typing, I just remembered that I completely forgot to wear a watch that was sitting on the table all the time.

Hair and Makeup!

This one is gonna be easy since I don't wear any makeup. The words foundation or concealer mean nothing to me. I have been blessed with impeccable skin, and I do not intend to spoil it by putting chemicals on my face.

In other words, I do not understand anything about the art, and I'm very scared to learn about the products.

I have just recently learned to wear eyeliner. 45 minutes. That's my personal best. It takes me 45 minutes to almost align them.

I hate wearing lipstick too, makes me look like a joker. But if I didn't, I'd be the only one with normal-looking lips and my very judgemental friends would make comments about it.

I love my hair very much that I'd love her intact on the scalp. Hence, I refuse to apply heat on her or use chemical-based products.

Voila, I'm ready!

I refuse to drive when I'm wearing heels so I prefer traveling in an auto (three-wheeled-vehicle meant for a short distance). The venue was only a distance of 20 minutes from my place but it's difficult to travel in Mumbai during rush hours.

I reached an hour late, drenched in rainwater, looking all shabby. I was shocked to see that everyone was casually dressed. Reason- it was raining.

The only decent picture from last night

The things that we do to look 'beautiful' or 'pretty' are petty, but we do it nevertheless. It makes me happy.

Now, if you go back and read the first paragraph again, "I am aware that I look the prettiest of them all. How do I know you ask? I told it to myself".

The confidence was present you see. I was only going to meet some old friends. All this drama was unnecessary. A casual t-shirt and ripped jeans would've done fine too.
